Winter Bird Survey

The Winter Bird survey has turned up a treat…White-headed Pigeons, three of them perched high in the Casuarinas that border Puntei Creek. This sighting is perhaps a rarity on Coal Point since there are very few records of these birds on the western side of Lake Mac. In the Hunter region they are mostly reported within the wet forests and rainforests margins further north although occasional sightings are made along the margins of the Watagans. In these areas these birds forage for various native fruit but also like Camphor laurels and Privet. The Privet along Puntei Creek is currently heavy in fruit.
